Severus Alexander/Antoninus Pius Manipulated Mule171 viewsEighteenth century (possibly earlier) medallion, created from two genuine ancient coins, both horribly defaced in the process of manufacturing this modern hybrid fake.

obv: IMP CAES M AVR SEV ALEXANDER AVG laur. head, r.
rev: fast quadriga, r. VICTORIA AVG (partially obliterated by the defacement) in exe.
